Part 7 shows how black homes were targeted by whites night after night. A man in the documentary recalls how white youngsters threw bottles of petrol through blacks windows in order to cause a fire. This shocked me because these black people did not offend these whites in any way yet they intend on killing them. Oswald Mosley started the anti-immigration movement, he same the Notting Hill riots as a way to launch his political career. Mosley caused the streets to become a very dangerous place for blacks. The white people that opposed Mosley found it extremely hard to help blacks or speak out against him because he in turn would taunt them as at that that he was indeed a very powerful and influential being. However, Britain did finally come to realise how bad this segregation was and how it caused a negative impact on society. Britain began to finally see a change as a group of youths were sentenced to four years due to the role they played within the riots.
